To wit, I noted some images showed where solder paste had not reflowed under the devices, and there was the presence of foreign object(s), such as
discrete components, trapped under the package.
Wireless-based products such as mobile phones tend to have a greater percentage of
discrete components to fine-tune the frequency matching and filtering functions.
Traditionally, power stages in applications such as solar power inverters, UPS inverter stages and industrial variable frequency drives (VFD) have been built from discrete IGBTs / MOSFETs with dedicated drivers and additional
discrete components. ON Semiconductor's new NXH160T120L2Q1SG and NXH160T120L2Q2F2SG Power Integrated Modules (PIMs) dramatically ease the designer's challenge by providing compact, highly integrated solutions in easily mountable packages that save space and reduce costs.
While SoCs or Sytem on Chip are chips that contain multiple
discrete components built into one piece of silicon, ASICs or applications specific integrated circuits are designed for a narrow purpose which work the best when running a particular piece of software.
EMIB acts as a high-speed intelligent information bridge between the GPU and HBM2 and reduces the usual silicon footprint to less than half that of
discrete components implemented separately.
Like all other aspects of electronic design, the power portion often is built today using
discrete components on PCBs.
Rohm offers system LSI,
discrete components, and module products.
The companies will utilize the aid of modern technology to separate waste into two
discrete components i.e.
Their application of value stream mapping to processing augments and expands the conventional applications to the manufacture and assembly of
discrete components. ([umlaut] Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
